Bright lights shone all around them. Ellory felt light. An incredible feeling of bliss was rushing through her entire body. She felt love towards everyone and everything. Part of her wanted to hug Begonia, kiss her even. The world was so beautiful, and everything in it.

"You are so kind, Begonia!" Ellory said with a deeply emotional voice. She took her friend's hands in hers and held them tightly. "I cannot wait for you to marry Mr. Urquart and then our children will become best friends! And, if they were to fall in love, I would turn a blind eye to their blood status and give them my blessing to elope and I am sure Claude would too!"
